Movie Review: Kung Fu Panda-2 - A cuddly ride.

The movie kicks-off  by telling us how exactly did Po come about being the son of a goose. Made up mostly of brilliant action sequences and a generous dose of humour, Kung Fu Panda2 is a fun ride.
China is under an attack by the evil Peacock (Gary Oldman) and it's upto Po and his friends who make up the Furious Five, to save it. Jack Black as Po the warrior Panda is at his goofy best. Even though the movie becomes a wee-bit repetitive in the fag-end, it still manages to be a cute cuddly ride. Other characters like master ShiFu, The Tigress, The Viper,  Mantis come back as the cool crew. The spectacular 3D used covers up to a large extent the clichéd plot. It has the eternal quality of a Disney movie. We know everything would be just fine in the end, yet we clap and cheer when it does and watch it again and again. It's familiar, it's cute and does manage to be like the comfort movie food after all the arty-difficult-to-understand dose of movies.
